⚡ Cost Scenarios
📊 Baseline (baseline) $1.7M/yr
83.0% probability / year
Normal uneventful year: containment maintained, routine research and maintenance only.
no incidents scheduled testing routine maintenance
🚨 Minor Incident $1.7M/yr
10.0% probability / year +$25K vs baseline
Minor laboratory incident or staff exposure requiring medical treatment and small repairs.
needle puncture/medical exposure small equipment damage
🚨 Major Breach $1.9M/yr
2.0% probability / year +$250K vs baseline
Significant containment breach or loss/damage of components requiring emergency upgrades and replacement equipment.
partial escape component theft/damage requiring emergency procurement
🚨 Research Scaleup $2.5M/yr
5.0% probability / year +$800K vs baseline
Decision to commence an intensive multi-year stabilization/replication program expanding research budgets and contracting.
research breakthrough strategic decision to scale program

Role Count Notes
Security Officer / MTF Agent 4 [#5] Four-person rapid-response/entry team (staffing as modeled in salaries).
Research Scientist 2 [#7] Two senior researchers for materials/robotics analysis (included in research team salaries).
Technician 2 [#7] Two technical support staff for lab work and testing (included in research team salaries).
📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst notes are detailed for equipment, staffing and lab needs, giving reasonable confidence in line-item estimates; uncertainties remain around frequency of incidents and scale/timing of a multi-year research program, so overall confidence is medium.
